about 3 or 4 questions

[Kayla Hope]

will be doing an affiliate website for my first project
few questions

which domain name site is usually the cheapest to buy from?
ive decided to do cloud hosting with hostgator, 60% off the first 3 years, but they have am option to do it with wordpress

can i create a wordpress account seperate? then get the 36 month cloud hosting deal from host gator?

also would it be cheaper just to buy the domain name from hostgator, or better to get it elsewhere and just buy hosting from hostgator?

thanks

any thoughts and opinions?

Godaddy for domain and sharkservers or poweruphosting for hosting. Hostgator sucks.

look in google for godaddy coupons, you will find coupons for .com domain for 0.99$

I use internet (dot) bs for domains because they do private WHOIS for free. I switched from HostGator to A2.

thanks for the replies guys.

one question is on these hosting sites, for example they have an option for cloud hosting, then they have an option for wordpress hosting.

cant i just download wordpress seperately, and pick cloud hosting from the hosting site? isnt that the same thing?

In the beginning, you will have no traffic, so you can actually start with any hosting provider.
Later on, after you develop your business, you can think about moving to something more dedicated.

Don't bother with that now. Think about creation and promotion strategies.

I am DEFINITELY doing my website before i buy the host. I will COMPLETE EVERYTHING while i taking advantage of the one month SEMrush sub. I am watching a good udemy course on this and it explains it all.

but i just wanted clarification on why the hosting sites have a separate package for cloud hosting with unlimited domains, then another package with wordpress hosting with only 2 domains. I dont understand what this means, because wouldnt i be able to download wordpress seperately for free, and then just buy the cloud host packaging? I know this may seem like a noobie Question but this is just bothering me kind of.

thanks for your response

Mostly hearsay from Reddit. A shit-ton of hearsay.
